Can create automated, BDD tests with Karate using a DSL ( vs a language )

Karate framework follows the Cucumber style of writing the program which follows the BDD approach. The syntax is easy to understand by non-programmers. And this framework is the only API testing tool that has combined API Automation and performance testing into a single standalone tool.

It provides the users with the ability to execute the test cases in Parallel and perform the JSON & XML checks.

With this information, certain key points can be deduced to further understand the Karate tool in detail:

  • Karate is a BDD testing framework instead of a TDD.
  • It is designed to be easy for non-programmers. This feature is a game-changer as it allows for more use and access by many people regardless of their technical background or capacity.
  • It makes use of the Cucumber feature file and the Gherkins language to write the test which is very easy to understand.


TestNG - NextGeneration - more flexible than JUnit

...

https://testng.org/doc/documentation-main.html 

TestNG is an automation testing framework in which NG stands for “Next Generation”. TestNG is inspired by JUnit which uses the annotations (@). TestNG overcomes the disadvantages of JUnit and is designed to make end-to-end testing easy.

Using TestNG, you can generate a proper report, and you can easily come to know how many test cases are passed, failed, and skipped. You can execute the failed test cases separately.

16) JMeter

JMeter is used for functional API testing which includes needed to test an API. It also has features which help to boost the performance of API testing.

Features:

  • It can record web sessions for playback ( similar to Selenium WebDriver )
  • It can be used for both static as well as dynamic resources performance testing
  • It supports replaying of test results
  • It can automatically work with CSV files. This helps test team to produce unique parameter values for API tests

JMeter is a 100% Java application and should run correctly on any system that has a compliant Java implementation.

Download link: http://jmeter.apache.org/

https://github.com/apache/jmeter

Ability to load and performance test many applications/server/protocol types:

  • Web - HTTP, HTTPS (Java, NodeJS, PHP, ASP.NET,...)
  • SOAP / REST Webservices
  • FTP
  • Database via JDBC
  • LDAP
  • Message-oriented Middleware (MOM) via JMS
  • Mail - SMTP(S), POP3(S) and IMAP(S)
  • Native commands or shell scripts
  • TCP
  • Java Objects

https://jmeter.apache.org/usermanual/get-started.html

 in testing a Web application, then see the section Building a Web Test Plan. The other specific Test Plan sections are:

Once you are comfortable with building and running JMeter Test Plans, you can look into the various configuration elements (timers, listeners, assertions, and others) which give you more control over your Test Plans.

Some of the potential cons of the JMeter are:

  1. JMeter does not offer support to the AJAX and JavaScript requests.
  2. Automation and Customization are difficult in the case of JMeter.



17) APIpray Inspector

Apiary allows monitoring the API during the design phase by capturing both request and response. It allows the user to write API blueprints and lets the user view them Apiary editor or Apiary.jo.
